The diploma thesis is focused on district heat supply, heat sources, machinery and safety equipment of boiler rooms. The main goal of the thesis is to modernize parts of the heat sources with the respective boiler room equipment in accordance with the latest available technology. The generated thermal energy is used for heating or hot water production for residential and non-residential buildings in the vicinity of the boiler room. In the theoretical part, the thesis focuses in more detail on boiler rooms, specifically on heat energy sources, machinery and safety equipment of boiler rooms, system ventilation and combustion exhaust. The findings are applied in the design of the new boiler room layout. It is followed by a detailed description of the current state of the boiler room and heat networks. An essential part of the work is the assessment of layout of the current heat sources and the creation of a new design for the replacement of insufficient sources and related equipment. The last goal is an economic overview of the designed project solution.

This diploma thesis presents reader with current knowledge in the field of gray wastewater reuse. The theoretical part describes the current state of water in the world, thus characterizes wastewater and describes its treatment. Further, this section describes the possibility of obtaining thermal energy from wastewater. At the end of the theoretical part, the reader is presented with some existing buildings in the Czech Republic that use the wastewater re-use technology system. In the following practical part, all the knowledge from the theoretical part are applied for a concrete project of construction of a graywater re-use technology system in the area of Vlněna in Brno city.

Content of this diploma thesis is analysis of the operation of heat and cold sources and its evaluation based on data from measurement and control systém and design of a new solution for heating and cooling selected part of the object Otevřená zahrada. Building is located on the street Údolní in Brno. It is a three-storey building serving as offices of non-profit organizations and weekend activities of the organization. On the first floor there is a technical background of the building and half of it is used by four offices. On the second floor there is a seminar hall with a capacity of 50 persons. The rest of the floor is used by three meeting rooms and three offices. The third floor is used by four offices. For the heating and cooling of building, there are designed heat pumps ground-water. Air exchange in the building is provided by the air handling unit.

This diploma thesis deals with comparison of predicted and actual energy consumption in buildings. The predicted consumption is determined by calculating the energy performance certificate of the selected building and the actual consumption is monitored in the building on the Open Garden premises of the Partnership Foundation in Brno. The theoretical part deals both with the energy consumption in buildings and with the methodology of energy performance calculation.

This diploma thesis deals with the design of a steam condensing turbine for intake steam of pressure 125 bar, temperature 540 °C and maximal intake of steam into the turbine 130 t/h. A thermal scheme is designed, including low-pressure and high-pressure regeneration, an air condenser, a feed tank and a boiler. Afterwards a thermodynamic design of a condensing turbine is made with an A-wheel type regulating stage and a stage part with reaction blades. The design of the blades is strength-tested. Then is made the design of the compensating piston and the sealing system. In the end the characteristics of the turbine for non-design steam flows is plotted. The designed turbine has a power of 34644 kW, has a thermodynamic efficiency of 85.1% and a reheat factor of 1.046.

The diploma thesis deals with the design of air-conditioning equipment in the building of a multifunctional hall in Brno and also includes an experimental analysis of air flow. It consists of 3 parts. In the first part a theory of air distribution is elaborated. The second part deals with the analysis of air flow for different types of air diffusers and for one diffuser further looks for a simplified model. The last part of this work is focused on the design of air conditioning equipment in the assigned building, the multifunctional sports hall.

With the growth of energy consumption and the optimization of industrial processes worldwide, new energy sources have been explored and investigated. Waste heat is a potential source for the generation of electricity and heat. This heat can be reused at different stages of industrial processes by using absorption heat pumps, which transfer thermal energy from a location with a lower thermal potential to a location with a higher thermal potential. This research work is basically focused on the evaluation of different absorption heat pumps implemented in the SAKO Brno incineration plant. To carry out this purpose, a bibliographic review of this technology has been carried out worldwide, then the mass and energy balance in the compressor is presented, from which the waste heat to be recovered with the pump will be obtained. Using the EES software, the mass and energy balance of the selected pumps is performed, then the amount of heat and electrical energy generated by the plant when implementing each of the pumps is shown, and finally the economic analysis is presented The design and implementation of a heat exchanger in the system is also included as an essential part of improving operation. The best option arises from the highest operational efficiency at the lowest possible cost.

This thesis is concerned with the design of a heat pump that does not use a ventilator during operation. In the introductory chapter, the functioning and the basic components of this device and other types of heat pumps are described. Properties of some commonly used refrigerants and oils as well as their classifications are stated. Due to the absence of a ventilator, a special heat exchanger was designed to achieve the required heat power. The choice of components in this refrigeration system takes into consideration the efficiency and functionality of the device.

This master´s thesis deals with calculations of heat losses, design of ventilation and heating of a two-storey family house. Part of the thesis is the characteristics and description of the building, calculation of heat losses according to the standard ČSN EN 12831-1. Furthermore, the heating system is designed, including the choice of heat sources, calculation of underfloor heating and pressure losses. Subsequently, forced ventilation is proposed with heat recovery. The last part assesses the possibility of using a photovoltaic system for the object. Relevant technical documentation is also prepared for the proposals.

The master’s thesis deals with the bypass system of steam turbine, especially about its heating during normal operation and cold start up. At the beginning of work, a preliminary thermodynamic calculation of condensing steam turbine with two uncontrolled extractions is made. This is followed by theoretical description and design of bypass system and design of heating during normal operation and cold start-up. The main goal of thesis is optimalization of heating, when the heating branch is connected back to turbine supply line. In the end, all options of heating are compared in terms of power output.
